Welcome back and hello to the new readers. That was a fast update, but I can't promise for that speed, I mean 2 chapters in 2 days? Personal record!
I'm glad to see that you all like this story so far. Hope I can make it as interesting as it's planned in my head.
There will be movie moments, but I play with the timeline and order in that they are happening to create my own piece and I try to fit in the most needed moments of course.
I hope you'll all enjoy chapter 2! Bechloe goodness ahead!
Little shout-outs:

Summery: Stepmonster 2.0
Beca grew up with her mum after her father left them. She lost contact to him a while ago but now he wants to bond again. Why? Well she has to find out, but why does she have to go to Barden, where he's teaching when she wants to have a go at being a DJane in LA? Bonding, with her father and his new family? Now that is something she doesn't want to do, more so since she knows that her stepsister, or how she prefers to call the unknown girl, stepmonster 2.0 is attending Barden as well.
Pairing: Beca/Chloe and Friendship: Chloe/Aubrey and Jesse/Beca
Disclaimer: If I would own Pitch Perfect, there would be Bechloe!

Chapter 2: Curtain falls
Beca's PoV:
The rest of the activities fair goes by real quick. I see the announcement of an internship at the Barden radio and decide to apply for it.
Maybe I can live my music there. Something to keep me from going insane at this place. I hate my parents more and more for putting me through this. College experience? My ass...

The internship starts at 4pm and I am a bit early. I strode through the dimly lit room and get a feel for the place. It's dark, there is a nearly endless supply of music and a cool looking guy speaking to me at the moment. Wait, talk Beca, you have to answer him!
"I was standing around." He smiles at me and I follow him through the tiny space, listening intently to him.
"No freshman in the booth." Oh, okay. So much to playing my music this year.
That creepy guy that played the air guitar to me arrives and something tells me that Luke, the hot radio guy, dislikes him instantly. As Jesse, still flirting with me constantly and being annoyingly persistent that we know each other, starts dragging me into a conversation, I hate myself for applying for this job.
Luke warns us to not have sex on the desk and all I can do is bite back my sarcastic answer that we will use the walls, shelves and even the floor for that. Luckily he tells me and my new super best friend for life, Jesse, to start stacking the CDs.
"Great, now I'm stuck here stacking CDs." I speak more to myself, but how else could it be, Jesse picks up, like, instantly.
"Oh, you don't like stacking CDs? Thats what I came here for, I love stacking CDs!" He replies with a smirk and for once he seems like he's less annoying. Maybe we could be friends. That is a fat MAYBE.

A month has passed in a blur. My courses are mostly boring. And by mostly I mean all of them. At least I have time to do new mixes. I'm currently working on something with David Guettas Titanium. I don't know what exactly I'm going to do with it, but I love this song it's like, on my mind constantly.
Jesse is still flirting with me. He tried to bribe me into watching movies with him, which I hate, which he obviously likes. I feel like that most of the time. The only thing that seems to connect us is music. He wants to write music for films, though. That's a down, but well, whatever he likes.
My father walked into my room today, finding me fast asleep while I should have been attending my Philosophy course. The look on his face was priceless. He obviously hates that I am not enjoying this whole college experience. The radio station is not an appropriate place for me to be, so he thinks. While I don't enjoy stacking CDs, I constantly bring my new mixes to Luke, hoping he'll listen to them and I get a chance to play them.
Dad, actually surprises me. Seems like he has time to think about his only, yes, I don't count stepmonster 2.0, daughter. He even agrees to help me with my dream of moving to LA but there is a trap in there. I need to attend one of the campuses groups, and make an effort. Hell, I am happy about all this! If that is all I need to cut my 4 terrifyingly years at Barden to only one, I will give my all to it.
So, my whole day I've been spending with thoughts about clubs to join. Maybe the deaf Jew DJs would be the least annoying, but I don't think my father would approve to that.
Kimmy Jin is still not talking to me, only when it's unevitable, so I don't even say anything when I leaf my room and head to the bathrooms. I learned by now that the showers are empty after 8pm, with most the students out partying and the few that are not into that spend their evening like Kimmy Jin, studying.

I was right. Not one shower is running as I enter and my mind is still occupied by the club choice. Titanium is still in my head and I decide to focus on the task of finding a suitable song to mix it with and forget about my father for the rest of the evening.
I don't know when I started to sing along to Titanium, it's something that happens to me a lot. There is no way of getting a better feeling for a song than singing it yourself. I could never do it better than Sia, I know that. There's no song from her that I don't like, she is amazing.
I enter the shower, still singing and turn on the, hopefully, hot water. The rustling of the shower curtain behind me startles me. Shit! Where's my rape whistle when I need it? This must be karma, I shouldn't have joked about it that day.
As I turn around, all I can see is a gorgeous redhead. The one from the activities fair! I get lost in those blue orbs again, but my brain catches up to the fact that I am naked and I start trying my best to cover my goods. The fact that she is very naked is making me even more nervous. She is beautiful and not shy at all. How she does it I don't know, but she beams relentlessly at me.
"I knew you can sing!" Well hello to you too. Seriously? That's all she has to say to this awkward situation.
I try to get her out of the shower, but she doesn't even care.
"You have to audition for the Bellas!" That again. All she can think about is this stupid a capella group.
"That was Titanium, right?" She has a beautiful voice, maybe a bit too happy all the time. She is quirky.
"You know David Guetta?" Don't they just sing those very old and lame songs?
"Am I living on the moon? Of course I know David Guetta. Titanium is my jam, my lady jam!" She gets even closer to me and I'm becoming more and more nervous. She is even more beautiful up close and it's all I can do to stop my eyes from leaving her face. I try to distract myself, yes, just look up to the shower head Beca...There is mould up there...
"Gross..." Shit, now she thinks I think she's gross! It is a bit strange to admit such a private detail to a stranger, though, right?
"Sing it for me!" The redhead chirps and I feel my walls build up again.
"NO!" Can't she just get out?
"Not for that reason, just do it. I won't leave unless you do." I didn't even think that she would want to hear it from me for that reason, geez. She really is relentless. She tries to look annoyed at me, but it's so not her character. She can't pull it off, but there is something about the way she looks so expectantly at me that makes me feel like I would do anything for her...to go out of the shower, I mean. It's not like I am crushing on her, right? No way...
So I start to sing...
Bulletproof, nothing to lose
I sound horrible. I'm too shy to sing naked in a shower with someone watching me so intently and standing so close.
Fire away, Fire away
She actually starts to sing along with me and I feel my anxiety vanish as she does. The way her voice harmonies with mine is...breathtaking. Everything about her seems to be breathtaking.
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am Titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am Titanium
She does something with the word Titanium that makes me shiver but it could be because I'm naked and cold. She wears this face splitting smile and I feel myself smiling back at her.
There is this awkward moment when we just look at each other and there is a kind of force that pulls me even closer to her.
"You have a great voice." I'm shocked for a moment. I didn't realise that there was a guy standing in the now again half open shower curtain. I see the redhead looking at him with a glint in her eyes and it's that moment that it hits me. Of course a beautiful girl like her wouldn't be alone, that was stupid of me to think. I'm upset and that's actually a good thing because else I would have screamed at the guy to get the fuck out of my shower.
"Tom, wait for me outside please?" And with the blink of her eyelashes he does as told. She turns back around to me, but obviously our moment is broken.
"Audition for the Bellas! Do it. We'll be a great team. I'm Chloe by the way." How does she sound so happy all the time?
"Beca." Is all that I get out. My eyes fall to her body without permission.
"Oh, right. You want to shower." She seems to have noticed my peeking. "I'm pretty confident about" She motions to her body and I can't help but follow her hands. "...all this."
"You should be." Oh no, please don't tell me that was myself at a lame attend of flirting?
Chloe just smiles at me and leaves, probably going after that guy from before. I didn't catch his name, even though he saw me naked. Great, just great. When did my life become such a mess?
Right, I have my dad to blame for this...
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

As always, R+R and wait patiently for the next chapter ;)
